Pictures

The picture gallery

The Institute section holds photographs from the Trust's own archive — the 2013 bursary presentation ceremony at the Frank Pietersen Music Centre, recovered from the Trust's earlier website. The other sections show Paarl and its churches, streets and music life, each openly licensed with the photographer named underneath. More of the Institute's own photographs will appear as the Trust and the community send them in.
